Abstract
The theory of price elasticity of demand is an imortant theory in economics.In the authors’ view,there are two problems existing in this theory and its application.One is that the identity of values resulted from computation with the two calculating formulas for demand elasticity is conditional.The other is that the relations between demand elasticity and total revenue vary with different conditions.Deep going discussion on these two problems is held in this paper.
